Flights from Moncton to New York are the start of your adventure in the Big Apple.
New York’s boroughs are packed with international flavours. Treat your tastebuds in Brooklyn’s Chinatowns, or on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx’s Little Italy.
Head to the Bronx Park where you’ll discover the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo. Explore 250 acres in the botanical garden lined with roses, lilacs, and orchids. Wander through the zoo, on a trek between the African Plains and Himalayan Highlands exhibits to the big cat enclosures, which bring you as close as possible to the zoo’s lions and snow leopards.
Make your way across the Bronx to Yankee Stadium, home to the New York Yankees. Drop by the massive sports arena for an action-packed baseball game. Or, visit the Citi Field ballpark in Queens for a similarly enthralling performance by the New York Mets.
Showcase your own athletic ability at one of New York’s exciting events. Test your grit on the 40-mile Five Boro Bike Tour where you’ll cruise over the iconic Queensboro Bridge and Verrazano–Narrows Bridge to the finish line in Staten Island.
New York, the city that never sleeps, is always bustling with excitement. During the day, Central Park buzzes with activity. The carousel and ice rink in the park make it a favoured destination in both summer and winter. At night, Times Square is lit up with bright billboards and pedestrians.

Carnegie Hill
A rugged cultural enclave
Nestled in Manhattan’s Upper East Side is the trendy neighbourhood of Carnegie Hill. New York’s famed Museum Mile stretching along Fifth Avenue begins in this area. Take in some sightseeing, art, and history in Carnegie Hill with flights from Moncton to New York.
Browse the museum’s extensive exhibits of historic and modern design or visit the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden. Relax in the peaceful atmosphere of this small green space outside the museum. The exceptionally designed landscape rivals the neighbouring and much larger Central Park.
The 106-acre Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir spans much of Carnegie Hill’s border with Central Park. Go for a run on the Bridle Path Loop, a popular route for many prominent politicians and celebrities. Indulge in a bit of bird watching with the reservoir’s wide variety of waterfowl.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, located nearby, is a notable point of interest in New York. The museum’s bold design complements the historic architecture found throughout Carnegie Hill. Enter the white spiral-shaped building and browse the broad collection of contemporary art.
Another stop on the Museum Mile is the Felix M. Warbug House. The castle-like building houses the Jewish Museum. Take a trip through Jewish heritage with close to 30,000 works of art curated by the museum.
Fly from Moncton to New York and roam the historic streets of Carnegie Hill.
Prospect Heights
Take on a new perspective of Brooklyn
Explore a different side of Brooklyn when you fly from Moncton to New York.
Prospect Heights raises the bar on the outdoor activities in New York City. Grand Army Plaza at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Eastern Parkway is where the fun begins. While filled with pedestrians during the week, Saturdays bring an entirely new crowd to the square. Stop by the lively farmers’ market filled with fresh fruits and baked goodies.
The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch eases the transition of urban Brooklyn to the scenic Prospect Park. The 585-acre park serves as a big backyard to Prospect Heights. Walk along the shaded paths and watch the songbirds dart between the trees.
Within the park is the Prospect Park Zoo which is sure to tug at the heartstrings of nature lovers with more than 400 animals who call the zoo home. Tour the Hall of Animals for a look at the zoo’s smallest residents or drop by the Sea Lion Court for a training session.
The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens also offer a scenic retreat from the Brooklyn streets. Visit the serene Japanese Garden Hill and Pond decked in wooden bridges and a Shinto shrine. The authentic gardens will make it feel like you’ve been transported across the globe.
See some more worldly treasures at the Brooklyn Museum. Housed in the grand Beaux-Arts building is Ancient Egyptian, African, and European artwork. You’ll marvel at the timeless masterpieces and the history surrounding them.
Enjoy some live action at the Barclays Center. The Brooklyn Nets host riveting basketball games in this huge stadium. Or, attend one of the popular New York concerts held at the venue throughout the year. Whether you attend a game or a show, make this your last stop before you fly back to Moncton from New York.
